Abstract

A phase change thermal storage unit 100 having has at least one conformational feature selected from (i) a fill port 120 located proximate a corner 114 of the of the panel 110, (ii) internal contouring that alters the thickness 119z of the phase change material retention chamber 119 for creating an average thickness of the chamber 119 within a central portion 1191 of the chamber 119 which is less than the average thickness 119z of the chamber 119 within a peripheral portion 1192 of the chamber 119, and (iii) fingertip indentation handles 115 proximate each and every edge 113.
